EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Phillips 66 is a diversified energy company with Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties (M&S) operating segments. At June 30, 2023, we had total assets of $74.9 billion. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSX.

Executive Overview

In the second quarter of 2023, we reported earnings of $1.7 billion and generated cash from operating activities of $1 billion. In addition, we had net borrowings of $1.3 billion. We used available cash to repurchase $4 billion of noncontrolling interests in DCP Midstream, LP (DCP LP), repurchase $1.3 billion of common stock, fund capital expenditures and investments of $551 million, and pay dividends on our common stock of $474 million. We ended the second quarter of 2023 with $3 billion of cash and cash equivalents.

Business Transformation

We continue to progress our multi-year business transformation focused on enterprise-wide opportunities to improve our cost structure. In 2022, we started implementing initiatives designed to achieve a targeted sustainable run-rate cost reduction of at least $800 million and lower sustaining capital of at least $200 million per year by the end of 2023. We expect to achieve these targets by year end.

DCP Midstream, LLC and Gray Oak Holdings LLC Merger (DCP Midstream Merger)

As part of executing our natural gas liquids (NGL) growth strategy to build a wellhead-to-market value chain, on August 17, 2022, we announced a realignment of our economic and governance interests in DCP LP and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (Gray Oak Pipeline) resulting from the merger of DCP Midstream, LLC (DCP Midstream) and Gray Oak Holdings LLC (Gray Oak Holdings). In connection with the DCP Midstream Merger, we were delegated DCP Midstream’s governance rights over DCP LP and its general partner entities, referred to as DCP Midstream Class A Segment, and acquired an economic interest in DCP LP of 43.3%.

Starting on August 18, 2022, our financial results reflect the consolidation of DCP Midstream Class A Segment, as well as DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (DCP Southern Hills). Since the DCP Midstream Merger, we have taken steps to integrate the operations and personnel of DCP Midstream Class A Segment to enable the capture of commercial and operational synergies.

DCP LP Merger

To further advance our NGL growth strategy on June 15, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all publicly held common units of DCP LP pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 5, 2023 (DCP LP Merger Agreement). The DCP LP Merger Agreement was entered into with DCP LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner entities, pursuant to which one of our wholly owned subsidiaries merged with and into DCP LP, with DCP LP surviving as a Delaware limited partnership. Under the terms of the DCP LP Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the DCP LP Merger, each publicly held common unit representing a limited partner interest in DCP LP (other than the common units owned by DCP Midstream and its subsidiaries) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash, without interest. The DCP LP Merger increased our economic interest in DCP LP from 43.3% to 86.8%.

See Note 3—DCP Midstream, LLC and DCP Midstream, LP Mergers, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the DCP Midstream and DCP LP Mergers.

Business Environment

The Midstream segment includes our Transportation and NGL businesses. Our Transportation business contains fee-based operations not directly exposed to commodity price risk. Our NGL business, including DCP Midstream Class A Segment, DCP Sand Hills and DCP Southern Hills from August 18, 2022, forward, contains both fee-based operations and operations directly impacted by NGL, natural gas and condensate prices. During the second quarter of 2023, NGL and natural gas prices decreased, compared with the second quarter of 2022, due to warmer than usual weather, which negatively impacted heating demand.

The Chemicals segment consists of our 50% equity investment in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The chemicals and plastics industry is mainly a commodity-based industry where the margins for key products are based on supply and demand, as well as cost factors. During the second quarter of 2023, the benchmark high-density polyethylene chain margin decreased, compared with the second quarter of 2022, mainly due to increased polyethylene supply coupled with softened demand.

Our Refining segment results are driven by several factors, including market crack spreads, refinery throughput, feedstock costs, product yields, turnaround activity, and other operating costs. The price of U.S. benchmark crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at Cushing, Oklahoma, decreased to an average of $73.78 per barrel during the second quarter of 2023, compared with an average of $108.66 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022. Market crack spreads are used as indicators of refining margins and measure the difference between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil. Worldwide market crack spreads decreased to an average of $28.65 per barrel during the second quarter of 2023, compared with an average of $46.72 per barrel in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in market crack spreads were primarily driven by lower refined product and crude oil prices as a result of weaker diesel demand and energy supplies adjusting from the market instability caused by the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022.

Results for our M&S segment depend largely on marketing fuel and lubricant margins and sales volumes of our refined petroleum products. While marketing fuel and lubricant margins are primarily driven by market factors, largely determined by the re

Our commodity price risk and interest rate risk at June 30, 2023, did not differ materially from the risks disclosed under Item 7A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2023, with the participation of management, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2023.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Additionally, we have elected a $300,000 threshold to disclose certain proceedings arising under federal, state or local environmental laws when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings. During the second quarter of 2023, no such new matters arose and no material developments occurred with respect to matters previously reported but still unresolved. We do not currently believe that the eventual outcome of any matters previously reported but still unresolved, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Further, our U.S. refineries are implementing two separate consent decrees, regarding alleged violations of the Federal Clean Air Act, with the EPA, five states and one local air pollution agency. Some of the requirements and limitations contained in the decrees provide for stipulated penalties for violations. Stipulated penalties under the decrees are not automatic, but must be requested by one of the agency signatories. As part of periodic reports under the decrees or other reports required by permits or regulations, we occasionally report matters that could be subject to a request for stipulated penalties. If a specific request for stipulated penalties meeting the reporting threshold set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules is made pursuant to these decrees based on a given reported exceedance, we will separately report that matter and the amount of the proposed penalty. We received such a request in the first quarter of 2023, which was described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. There have been no further developments with respect to this matter.

See Note 13—Contingencies and Commitments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
